EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nationally, 1.2 million Black students were suspended from K-12 public schools
in a single academic year – 55% of those suspensions occurred in 13 Southern
states. Districts in the South also were responsible for 50% of Black student
expulsions from public schools in the United States.
This report aims to make transparent the rates
at which school discipline practices and policies
impact Black students in every K-12 public school
district in 13 Southern states: Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, and West Virginia.
On average, Blacks were 24% of students in the
3,022 districts we analyzed, but rates at which they
were suspended and expelled are disproportionately
high.
Disproportionality in Suspensions
In 132 Southern school districts, Blacks were disproportionately suspended at rates five times or higher
than their representation in the student population.
In 84 districts, Blacks were 100% of the students
suspended from public schools.
In 346 districts, Blacks were 75% or more of the
students suspended from public schools.
In 743 districts, Blacks were 50% or more of the
students suspended from public schools.
Blacks comprised 74% of suspensions from public
schools in Mississippi, which was the highest
proportion among the states. Florida schools
suspended the highest number of Black students
(n = 121,468).
Disproportionality in Expulsions
In 77 Southern school districts, Blacks were disproportionately expelled at rates five times or higher
than their representation in the student population.
In 181 districts, Blacks were 100% of the students
expelled from public schools.
In 255 districts, Blacks were 75% or more of the
students expelled from public schools.
In 484 districts, Blacks were 50% or more of the
students expelled from public schools.
Blacks comprised 72% of expulsions from public
schools in both Louisiana and Mississippi, which
was the highest proportion among the states.
Tennessee schools expelled the highest number of
Black students (n = 5,559).
School Discipline Inequities by Sex
Boys were 65% of Black students suspended from
K-12 public schools in the 13 southern states.
Despite this, when compared to girls from other
racial/ethnic groups, Black girls were severely and
most disproportionately affected by school discipline policies and practices.
Nationally, Blacks were 45% of girls suspended
and 42% of girls expelled from K-12 public schools,
which was highest among all racial/ethnic groups.
Across the Southern states, Black girls comprised
56% of suspensions and 45% of expulsions, both
of which were also highest among all girls. In 10
Southern states, Blacks were suspended most often
among girls.
Blacks were 35% of boys suspended and 34% of
boys expelled from K-12 public schools in the
United States. Across the Southern states, Black boys
comprised 47% of suspensions and 44% of expulsions, which was highest among all racial/ethnic
groups. In 11 Southern states, Blacks were suspended
most often among boys.
Using this Report
We hope this report will be useful to parents and
families, educators and school leaders, policymakers,
journalists, and a wide range of community stakeholders (NAACP chapters, religious congregations,
activists, etc.). As such, we present data districtby-district within each state. For every state, we
also highlight districts in which school discipline
policies and practices most disproportionately
impact Black students. Our aim is to equip anyone
concerned about the school-to-prison pipeline
and the educational mistreatment of Black youth
with numbers they can use to demand justice from
school boards, educational leaders, and elected
officials.
We also want faculty in schools of education, as
well as other sites in which teachers are prepared
(e.g., Teach for America) and administrators are
certified, to use this report to raise consciousness
about implicit bias and other forces that cyclically
reproduce racial inequities in school discipline. We
hope this report is not misused to reinforce deficit,
criminalized narratives about Black children. The
alarming data presented herein go beyond student
misbehavior and bad parenting – they also are
attributable to racist practices and policies
in K-12 public schools across the South.

MESSAGE FROM U.S. CONGRESSMAN CEDRIC RICHMOND
Cedric Richmond represents Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District in the
United States House of Representatives. Congressman Richmond currently serves
on the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on
the Judiciary.
In 1954, the United States Supreme Court ruled that all children
had a right to a quality public education. They did so, in part,
because they recognized the key role education plays in the lives of
individuals and in society. “Today, education is perhaps the most
important function of state and local governments,” wrote Chief
Justice Earl Warren. “Compulsory school attendance laws and the
great expenditures for education both demonstrate our recognition
of the importance of education to our democratic society. It is
required in the performance of our most basic public responsibilities,
even service in the armed forces. It is the very foundation of good
citizenship…. In these days, it is doubtful that any child may
reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he [or she] is denied the
opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state
has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available
to all on equal terms.”
More than 60 years later, these words are a reminder of an
unchanging truth. All children deserve the chance at success.
However, today it is clear that there are still problems with our
educational system that prevent truly equal access. Far too many
students across the country find themselves suspended, expelled, or involved with the criminal justice
system for misbehaviors that occur during school. Just as a good education has positive effects that are still
felt long after graduation, not receiving a good education has serious negative effects that last a lifetime.
This is reflected in troubling statistics. People who do not graduate from high school are twice as likely to
be unemployed as those who do. Those without high school diplomas also earn much less than those with
diplomas throughout their lives. We publish and pore over high school graduation rates, and puzzle over
ways to increase test scores. In these conversations, though, we often leave out an important part of the
problem: actions taken by schools that actively hurt students and make it harder for them to succeed.
“From the data available, we know that Black students are disproportionately
suspended, expelled, and referred to the criminal justice system by schools.
The overuse of these punishments and their disproportionate use on students
of color are serious problems that we have to address right now.”
Making all of this worse is the fact that these punishments are not applied equally. From the data available,
we know that Black students are disproportionately suspended, expelled, and referred to the criminal justice
system by schools. The overuse of these punishments and their disproportionate use on students of color
are serious problems that we have to address right now. We need to place greater importance on getting
data from schools on the use of suspensions, expulsions, and arrests in schools. Getting complete data on
who suffers these punishments, why they receive them, and what the outcomes of the punishment are can
help us fully understand what is happening in our nation’s schools. We need to provide better training to
teachers and administrators so that they have the tools to deescalate and mitigate situations. We also need
to provide better guidance to schools on best practices so that student discipline is handled fairly instead
of through arbitrary and heavy-handed ‘zero tolerance’ policies. Encouraging administrators, police, and
judges to prioritize rehabilitation and school attendance over severe punishments would also lead to better
outcomes.
The unfair discipline practices that hurt students involve many complicated and interrelated factors,
but there are steps that we can take right now that would help. It is time for everyone who cares about
education and our nation’s children to come together and act.

BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH METHODS
Nationally, over three million public school students
received at least one out-of-school suspension
and 130,000 were expelled during the 2011-2012
academic year (U.S. Department of Education, 2014).
In July 2015, educators, policymakers, and others
gathered at the White House for a national summit
on school discipline. Much of the discussion there
and on social media (using #RethinkDiscipline)
focused on how suspensions and expulsions
disproportionately affect students of color and
students with disabilities. Our aim in this report is
to contribute to this conversation by making data
transparent for parents and families, teachers and
school leaders, activists, policymakers, journalists,
and concerned others in Southern states.
Russell Skiba (Indiana University), Daniel Losen
(UCLA), Pedro Noguera (UCLA), Jamilia Blake
(Texas A&M University), Ivory Toldson (Howard
University), Anne Gregory (Rutgers University),
Brianna Kennedy-Lewis (University of Florida),
Claudia Vincent (University of Oregon), and many
other scholars have consistently written on this
topic. Additionally, The Atlantic Philanthropies,
Open Society Foundations, The California
Endowment, and several other foundations have
invested considerably into projects focused on
reducing disproportionality in school discipline.
The Southern Education Foundation has worked in
myriad ways on school climate and juvenile justice
issues in the South since 2007. Hence, this report
contributes to a wide range of ongoing efforts in
the field that highlight the differential applications
and effects of discipline policies and practices
on students by race. Along with other published
evidence, we hope this report brings more attention
to and ultimately helps dismantle the school-toprison pipeline in the South and all across our
nation.
What Prior Research Tells Us
“Minority overrepresentation in school punishment
is by no means a new finding in school discipline
research. Investigations of a variety of school
punishments over the past 25 years have
consistently found evidence of socioeconomic and
racial disproportionality in the administration
of school discipline” (Skiba et al., 2002, p.
318). Despite the regularity with which racial
disparities and racism in school discipline have
been documented, Blacks and other students of
color continue to be suspended and expelled at
disproportionately higher rates than their peers
from other racial/ethnic groups. During the 2011-12
academic year, Black kids comprised only 18% of
preschoolers in the U.S., but were 42% of students
suspended once and 48% of students suspended
multiple times from preschools (U.S. Department
of Education, 2014). Black students were being
suspended at disproportionately high rates as
early as elementary school in the district Raffaele
Mendez and Knoff (2003) studied. In a 2015 report,
Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced, and
Underprotected, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and
colleagues note that 90% of all girls expelled from
New York City public schools in 2011-12 were Black.
According to Taylor, Cregor, and Lane (2014), Black
students enrolled in Massachusetts public schools
were 3.7 times more likely than their White peers
to receive an out-of-school suspension. Skiba et al.
(2002) found that Black students are most often
disciplined for being disrespectful and threatening,
loitering, and excessive noise, whereas their White
schoolmates are likelier to be referred to school
discipline officers for less subjective offences (i.e.,
smoking, leaving without permission, vandalism,
and obscene language). Similar findings emerged
in Blake et al.’s (2011) comparative study of reasons
Black, Hispanic, and White girls were disciplined in
an urban school district.
Zero tolerance school discipline policies were
supposedly established to create safer learning
environments for all students (Kang-Brown et
al., 2013; Skiba & Rausch, 2006). These policies
are often enacted through rigid practices and
predetermined consequences that greatly limit
discretion in individual cases, usually remove
students from schools, and occasionally involve
law enforcement personnel. Monahan et al. (2014)
posit that the implementation of zero tolerance
policies has increased the prevalence of suspension
and expulsion to address behaviors that range from
dress code violations and talking back to teachers
to weapons possession and selling drugs. These
policies negatively and disproportionately impact
students of color, students with disabilities, and lowincome students (Fabelo et al., 2011; Giroux, 2003;
Harry & Kinger, 2014; Kennedy-Lewis, 2014; Kim,
Losen & Hewitt, 2010; Losen et al., 2015; Losen
& Skiba, 2010; Noguera, 2003; Skiba & Knesting,
2001; Toldson, 2011; Vincent et al., 2011), plus
they are outrageously ineffective. An American
Psychological Association taskforce on zero
tolerance policies found “a negative relationship
between the use of school suspension and
expulsion and school wide academic achievement”
(2008, p. 854). Notwithstanding, several school
leaders across the nation still use them. This is
extremely consequential for students of color, as
Skiba et al. (2014) found that principals’ attitudes
about discipline are among the most powerful
determinants of racial disproportionality in school
discipline.
Losen et al. (2015) estimate that public school
children lost nearly 18 million days of instruction
during the 2011-12 school year because of
exclusionary discipline policies. Students who
3
BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH METHODS
are suspended or expelled from school are often
stigmatized in ways that compel educators and peers
to view them as “problem students,” a perception
that is difficult to change (Kennedy-Lewis, Murphy,
& Grosland, In Press; Weissman, 2015). Also, the
constant removal from and reentry into school,
coupled with the loss of classroom instruction
time can profoundly disrupt a student’s academic
progress and performance. Gregory, Skiba, and
Noguera (2010) therefore reasonably argue that
racial disproportionality in school discipline
contributes, at least in part, to lower rates of
academic achievement among students of color.
This argument is supported by an alarming finding
in Fabelo et al.’s (2011) study: “Students who were
suspended and/or expelled, particularly those
who were repeatedly disciplined, were more likely
to be held back a grade or to drop out than were
students not involved in the disciplinary system”
(p. xi). Balfanz, Brynes, and Fox (2015) found
that out-of-school suspensions in ninth grade are
also significantly and negatively correlated with
high school graduation, as well as postsecondary
enrollment and persistence. As Marchbanks et
al. (2015) summarize, higher suspension rates are
closely correlated with higher delinquency and
high school dropout rates, which have tremendous
economic costs for the suspended student, the
school, and our larger society.
Research also makes clear that expulsions and
out-of-school suspensions are strongly
associated with subsequent participation in
juvenile and criminal justice systems (Fabelo et
al., 2011; Noguera, 2003; Toldson, 2011). The
overrepresentation of Blacks among students
impacted by discipline policies and practices has
incontestably helped sustain the “school-to-prison
pipeline,” a term that signifies the roles schools play
in putting certain students on pathways into the
criminal justice system. Weissman (2015) powerfully
documents the troubling ways in which suspension
and expulsion excessively funnel students of color
out of classrooms and into jail cells.
Research Methods
All public schools are required to report discipline
numbers to the U.S. Department of Education’s
Office for Civil Rights (OCR). We retrieved data for
every public school district in 13 Southern states
(n = 3,022) through a publicly available OCR data
portal (http://ocrdata.ed.gov). For each district,
we determined the proportion of Blacks among
students who received out-of-school suspensions
and expulsions in 2011-2012, the academic school
year for which the most recent federal-level school
discipline data are available.
4
Additionally, OCR sent data files to us, which we
used to determine the cumulative numbers of girls
and boys who received out-of-school suspensions
and expulsions nationally and within each
Southern state. We calculated for each district a
Disproportionate Impact Factor – the number of
times Black students are over-suspended relative
to their enrollment in a district’s public schools.
For example, if Blacks comprised 5% of students
enrolled in a district, but were 20% of students
suspended, the Disproportionate Impact Factor
would be 4x.
Limitations
Our study has four noteworthy limitations. First, the
OCR dataset was either missing or had incomplete
data for 269 Southern school districts. We had no
other consistent way to get reliable statistics about
those districts, thus they are marked with --- on our
state data tables. Second, data presented herein are
not disaggregated by disability status. Prior research
(e.g., Harry & Kinger, 2014; Losen et al., 2015; Taylor
et al., 2014) shows that school discipline policies
and practices especially disadvantage students of
color with disabilities.
Third, we report only out-of-school suspension
trends. Across the country, over 1.1 million
Black students received in-school suspensions
during the 2011-12 academic year; 70% of those
occurred in public schools in the 13 Southern
States. We acknowledge that more needs to be
known about the effects of in-school suspension
on students. Finally, data reported herein aggregate
students receiving one or more suspensions in
an academic school year. Further analyses would
reveal the extent to which Blacks are even more
overrepresented among students suspended multiple
times, a trend documented in other studies (e.g.,
Losen & Martínez, 2013; U.S. Department of
Education, 2014).
We document in this report statistics that OCR has
in its publicly available database for every public
school district in the United States. Questions or
concerns about the accuracy of these federal data
should be addressed to the U.S. Department of
Education at ocrdata@ed.gov or 1-800-421-3481.
Data Presentation
This study is based on a sample of 17,259,605
students (and 1,494,519 suspensions) in public
schools across the South. We present key trends
(disaggregated by sex) on the next page, followed
by OCR statistics for every public school district
in the13 Southern states.
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE TRENDS ACROSS THE SOUTH
Blacks were nearly half of all students suspended and expelled from public schools in the South. 427,768
Black boys were suspended and 14,643 were expelled, the highest numbers among both sexes and all racial/
ethnic groups. Blacks were 56% of girls suspended and 45% of girls expelled, the highest percentages among
both sexes and all racial/ethnic groups.

RESOURCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Kavitha Mediratta, Chief Strategy Advisor for Equity
Initiatives and Human Capital Development at The
Atlantic Philanthropies, is a highly respected leader
on school discipline. In her 2014 Education Week
article, Mediratta suggests that schools abandon
zero tolerance discipline policies. She instead points
to promising practices in Baltimore, Maryland and
Austin, Texas, where schools adopted alternative
approaches to suspensions and expulsions. We join
her and a chorus of others (e.g., APA, 2008; Fabelo
et al., 2011; Kim, Losen, & Hewitt, 2010; Skiba &
Rausch, 2006) in insisting that schools discontinue
use of zero tolerance policies and practices – they do
not make schools safer, but instead annually harm
millions of children, a disproportionate number
of whom are Black. Because so many researchers,
policymakers, and activists have repeatedly offered
this recommendation, we are surprised that school
leaders still rely on them and similar courses of
action. Zero tolerance approaches to discipline
must stop.
As noted earlier in this report, considerable work
has been done on school discipline. Listed on Page
3 are several expert scholars who have written
extensively on the topic. We have decided against
simply recycling and restating excellent recommendations offered in other publications. To do so
would be unnecessarily duplicative. Strategies that
have been proven to keep students out of trouble
and engaged in school are included in the 436-page
School Discipline Consensus Report (Morgan et al.,
2014). We highly recommend this publication,
which is available online in PDF at no cost. Other
outstanding alternatives to zero tolerance have been
offered elsewhere (e.g., Dwyer, Osher, & Warger,
1998; Gagnon & Leone, 2001; Gregory et al., 2015;
Sherman et al., 1998; Taylor et al., 2014; Toldson et
al., 2015). Chiariello (2013) wrote a teacher’s guide
to rerouting the school-to-prison pipeline. Specifically, she presents different categories of student
behavior and describes within each five different
culturally responsive questions teachers should
ask that will likely dissuade them from referring
students of color for disciplinary action. All teachers
should read, discuss, and integrate lessons from this
article into their practice. It is available at no cost
on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching
Tolerance website.
Superb, practically useful ideas are put forth in
Daniel Losen’s (2015) book, Closing the School
Discipline Gap. Its authors are several of the scholars
whose research is cited in this report. The final
chapter includes instructive insights from Karen
Webber, former Executive Director of the Office
of Student Support and Safety for Baltimore City
Public Schools, who explains how discipline reform
efforts reduced out-of-school suspensions by 24%
86
in a single academic year and helped significantly
bolster achievement in her predominantly Black,
low-income school district.
We point readers to a range of free online resources.
For example, a section of the U.S. Department of
Education’s website (www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/
school-discipline) is devoted to school discipline.
Included are a compendium of state school discipline laws and regulations; instructions on how to
file a complaint if one believes a student has been
unfairly disciplined; responses to commonly asked
questions about discipline procedures for students
with disabilities; links to guides for educators and
school district leaders; and a letter jointly authored
by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S.
Department of Justice that describes how schools
can administer student discipline in non-discriminatory ways. We encourage readers to take advantage of these resources, as well as the online data
portal we used to gather most statistics presented in
this report. Suspension and expulsion rates for every
public school and school district in the U.S. can be
easily found on this website: http://ocrdata.ed.gov.
Other online resources include Dignity in Schools
(www.dignityinschools.org), which unites parents,
students, and others in efforts to end unfair school
discipline policies and practices. The Georgia
Appleseed Center for Law and Justice offers the
Keeping Kids in Class Toolkit (https://gaappleseed.org),
which includes numerous helpful discipline-related
resources for families. The UCLA Center for Civil
Rights Remedies also regularly publishes online
reports and makes publicly available other school
discipline resources at no charge.
An Imperative for Schools of Education
Teachers and school leaders (principals, superintendents, etc.) are often prepared in schools of education. Some enter the profession through Teach for
America and programs like it. In most teacher education and administrator preparation programs, too
little emphasis is placed on racial disproportionality
in discipline and ways educators help sustain the
school-to-prison pipeline. More time and attention
must be placed on educating aspiring teachers and
school leaders about implicit bias and other racist
forces that annually reproduce horrifying statistics
such as those presented in this report. Teachers refer
students to principals’ offices, and school leaders
make suspension and expulsion decisions. Therefore,
faculty in programs that prepare these professionals
must introduce alternative approaches to zero tolerance into curricula and skill-building experiences.
Otherwise, they will continue to be complicit in the
harm disproportionately inflicted on Black children
in P-12 schools.
CONCLUSION
We conclude this report with a sincere apology.
While neither of us has ever suspended or expelled
any student, as educators, we are participants in
a system that continually disadvantages Black
children, families, and communities. We are sorry
that schools of education and other sites where
teachers and educational leaders are prepared and
certified do so little to raise consciousness about
the implicit biases that ultimately lead to trends
such as those documented in this study. In most
programs across the country, aspiring teachers,
principals, and superintendents are taught far too
little about disproportionality in school discipline
and its racist undercurrents. The same is apparently
true of professional development activities that
occur in the majority of P-12 schools and districts.
Moving forward, we commit ourselves to doing
more with what we know to raise the individual
and collective consciousness of our colleagues;
we will work hard to disrupt the assumptions
and cultural misunderstandings that compel
them to suspend and expel Black students at such
outrageously high rates. We will also use this report
to empower parents and families, support ongoing
and new activist efforts, advise policymakers and
educational leaders on necessary systemic changes,
and repeatedly assure Black children they are not
as bad as school discipline data suggest. Hopefully
our research helps advance other important efforts
in the field to ultimately dismantle the school-toprison pipeline.
